    Oh wow! Even after the severe nerfs, Mercy is still diff-ing every game of Overwatch. When will these ****** *** teams learn to target her? "Oh but nah, focus the tank getting pocketed by Mercy. Don't focus the actual problem."

    @PlayOverwatch You guyz might want to fix your battlepass because alot of people are confused thinking they are getting Actual Overwatch Credits which woulda been the SMART thing to give us over actual legacy credits. you had a w for a second there now its back to an L.

  • sylviessylk 🧪Moira’s Little Monster🧪 (@sylviessylk) reported

    Overwatch has been lagging a lot for me lately, so I’m going to try using a VPN while I play tonight and see how it goes. Otherwise, I might have to reduce the game’s quality lol

  • NuggetAdored AdoredNugget (@NuggetAdored) reported

    Was playing @PlayOverwatch just now and got DC'd right as I join the fight with NO OPTION TO REJOIN. Not to mention Overwatch is the ONLY game where I receive huge lag spikes that freeze everything in place at random times. The only thing holding me back from loving this game.

  • mandareeni Mandee Alvina (@mandareeni) reported

    overwatch why did it take y’all this long to fix some minor things

  • DevinPeirce2 Kryonik Gaming (@DevinPeirce2) reported

    @nategibson Most of the main shooters are cheeks. Halo and BF2042 were both dead within 2 months. COD MP is nonexistent and WZ2 is a buggy, glitchy,hacker-infested infested mess that takes almost zero skill. Overwatch suffers from poor balancing and broken ranked mechanics.

  • RushFox_ RushFox (@RushFox_) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so frail. Everything makes this game disconnect me..

  • pandusssy morg (@pandusssy) reported

    overwatch just needs to add in a Samoan support that just throws ****** across the map. Problems solved

  • MasamuneWeskerX Wesker (@MasamuneWeskerX) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello, I've completed all the twitch drop requirements for the new Overwatch 2 drop but I can't claim the skin. My account is connected to twitch. Is there any way to get around this problem?

  • JoshRebelTV Joshrebeltv (@JoshRebelTV) reported

    Won't be playing overwatch for a while not sure how long even though I've been playing since the first game I have some authenticator issues that popped up when I linked my account thru twitch 😵 in the meantime I will stream warzone I guess.

  • skylercfitness Skyler Crabtree (@skylercfitness) reported

    @BlizzardCS it seems that people are being kicked off overwatch (disconnected from comp games) I myself 2 times in a row and another enemy player and teammate. Is there an issue going on?

  • melsing48802620 mel singh (@melsing48802620) reported
